What would you call them out on slow? Would you scold them about their lack of desire to achieve an industry leading contract? Or would you scold them for saying it publicly?

Carl,

Everyone at the Q&A was disgusted. I think the DPA signed up an extra 100 that day alone.

If they stated their views publicly, then you're not really outing them by identifying them, are you?

This sounds eerily familiar. We're only supposed to get a 3% raise and we used to be the highest paid and home of the pension. No expectations and lots to celebrate as everyone strives to be what you just did. Anything better than that and it will be a fantastic year.

Make sense? Instead of prodding me, how about you call your own reps and make sure they want what most of us want, for them to not manage our expectations, and to go for what we deserve, SWA/Airtran plus.

Delta traded 6 737-700s to SouthWest in exchange for September 31st.

Now SWA pilots won't make more than Delta pilots for the month of September.

Be careful with that. At my old airline we had a pilot who was sued for pushing a wheelchair. Pilots are not trained to push wheelchairs.

Crazy, but true story.

I used to push wheelchairs for an airline as a summer job. It's very easy, but I had to do a bunch of required computer training to get "qualified.". I agree with your statement.

The day when we can't push wheel chairs, help with bags and assist elderly people will be a sad day. What does that say about our ultra-sensitive society? Not much.
